Interesting, palm still has tcu in. I was wondering why all the experts were assuming the sugar would take tcu over wv, palm seems to have made this change based solely on Clemson in the orange rather than VT.

to play WVU, basically because it is a no win situation. If UM won they would get no credit because it is a Big East team. Not to mention WVU's passing attack makes me a little nervous, given the yards they racked up when they played LSU.

Bottom line, I would prefer to see a non-Big Least team even if it was in a non-BCS game.

Beating WVU = winning a BCS game. When was the last time Michigan as a program managed to do that? That is a win. This is no regular season game; a win over anyone (including Houston) in a BCS game would be huge.

I am optimistic that Michigan will get an invite to the Sugar Bowl. To prove it, I reserved four 1-bedroom condos near the stadium for Michigan fans to enjoy New Orleans and the game. I will trade 3 nights of lodging (starting Jan 3) for 2 great seats to the bowl game. 2 additional 1-bedroom condos are available for rent, same timeline - GREAT PRICE FOR M FANS.
